Ronstan RS006010A Series 60 Gennaker Furler Top Swivel

The Ronstan RS006010A Series 60 Gennaker Furler Top Swivel is a high-performance marine-grade top swivel designed for continuous line furling systems used with gennakers, asymmetric spinnakers, and code sails. Engineered by Ronstan for smooth low-friction sail furling and reliable offshore performance, this lightweight yet incredibly strong swivel is ideal for racing yachts, trailer sailers, catamarans, sports boats, and performance cruising yachts operating in demanding New Zealand sailing conditions.

Designed specifically for use with the Ronstan Series 60 furling system, the RS006010A top swivel allows torsion ropes and furling systems to rotate smoothly under load while maintaining excellent sail control and furling efficiency. High-performance stainless steel ball bearings minimise friction and improve sail handling performance during furling and deployment operations. The swivel’s lightweight composite and anodised aluminium construction helps reduce rig weight while maintaining outstanding strength and marine durability.

The marine-grade 316 stainless steel bearing system and hardcoat anodised aluminium body provide exceptional resistance to corrosion, UV exposure, vibration, and harsh offshore conditions. Ronstan’s Series 60 furling systems are widely trusted by sailors worldwide for fast, snag-free furling performance and long service life in competitive sailing and offshore cruising environments.

Suitable for use with asymmetric spinnakers, gennakers, and lightweight code sails, the RS006010A top swivel forms a critical component of a smooth and reliable continuous furling system.
